Kandhi Pachadi (Toor dal Chutney)

This is my first entry into Barbara of Tigers and Strawberries “Spice is Right” blog event. I was excited to see her theme for this month’s event “Its too darned hot” focusing on Chilies. Andhra cuisine uses a lot of chilies in all different forms and is said to be one of the “hottest” cuisines in India.

I made a very simple dish that has lot of chilies mixed with nutty fried toor dal. This dish can be put together in no time and is paired with dishes that are made with tamarind to soothe the heat from the chilies.
